I can pretend while the sun is high But i can't lie...beneath the moon I'm "okay" in the hours light Quiet darkness...brings my doom It's in the night that it finds me It's in the day...that I escape It's through the black that it's eyes s…
I feel like a tall unclimbable tree In a forest surrounded yet still very lonely I feel like a grey Withholding rain cloud Waiting to burst And release what I shroud I feel like a pale Imitation of a man Gaze fixed towards my feet Not f…

Animals that aren't seen Pixies abound A place fairies can be found A place time holds no power A year feels just like an hour There's no pain and no shame In these woods of no name
Wonder with me and I'll take you so far Along a desolate road in a hate fuelled car The road we'll be taking Is as long as it is black Once the pedal has been floored There's no turning back With me at the wheel There's chance of a cras…
Where greed and hate don't exist No more anger or rage And no more throwing of fists No more nuclear weapons Or bombs and bullets No more needlessly spilt blood Or flag covered caskets No more reasons for invasions We could live and just…
Imagining a world Where love and lust don't exist No more heartbroken souls Taking blades to their wrists No more adulterous husbands Or moonlighting wives No more crimes of a passion Destroying each others lives Imagining a world Witho…
There needs to be a contract To sign before love starts There should be some sort of guidelines To protect our precious hearts There needs to be some comeback For those who break the laws They need to feel their victims pain Equivalent to …
I gave you my whole heart I was convinced I got one back But I was fooled right from the start Now I'm certain that yours is black I gave you all my trust It was what you needed most But your truths turned into dust And your promises turne…
I sat still And I lip synced through every hymn I sat still Because I didn't want the pain to win I sat still Through a fear the tears would roll I sat still Because I knew that if I didn't the floodgates just would not hold I sat still …
I find myself afloat In a pool of misplaced hope a sea of my own fears and a river of my 'oh so nears' I'd rather drown than tread this water I'd rather sink than ride this wave I'd rather be a great whites slaughter I'd rather die than c…
Crashing tides against still rocks Washing machines full of odd white socks Broken dreams of a once hope filled child Spoken screams of one usually so mild Taken back promises that were never meant Mistakenly believing every word that was…
I won't ask for it Nor do I expect it (I pray for it) And if offered it I'd probably reject it I scream it! At the top of my inner voice (((HELLLLLLLPPP!!))) Nobody hears it But that's my own..stupidly stubborn choice
I wish to forget my feelings towards you DO you even remember the ones you felt too NOT even for a second have you showed that you cared WANT for each other is what I thought we shared TO get what I need will take inner strength LOVE is an …
You were strumming along Almost effortlessly Playing my songs And humming sweet melodies You were plucking my strings With the softest of touch Playing all the right chords We had no need to rush You wrote such luscious lyrics And sang t…
He lends me a darkness so that i can truly see He fills my heads silence with the shrillest of screams He bestows upon me memories so vividly real He temporarily bandages wounds so again I might feel He knows what I need least is thoug…
The truth is all I need to set me free But the truth is one thing you won't give to me We parted so sudden without warning or reason You gave me fake sentiments which I'll never believe in You said being with me felt "amazing" and "right"…
There's a better man in me Fighting to come out He doesn't like what others see A vision of hate and doubt He's the one with all the joy He's the one that laughs But he's trapped inside this void On an island with no raft Oh please won't …
My days are now full...of torturous pain She's left me and broke me and I'm going insane She says those three words followed by my name I've found my true love and my heart is aflame My future is bleak and its me who's to blame I've coasted…
I search on my eBay app at least once per every day I'm looking for that light stick the one used by 'J' and 'K' The one from the three movies that wipes out certain thoughts I'm not worried about the side effects or if it makes my memor…
Bumble bee bumble bee How you do interest me Buzzing around With your colours for all to see Yellow and black Like the stars on the sky Wings on your back And kaleidoscope eyes Bumble bee bumble bee How you do worry me One use of that st…
Tennyson you fool Your words for me hold no truth I was far happier Having never loved
Fire burns...just like you Water flows...as your lies do to Air evades...as I struggle for breath Earth underneath...I lay still..where you left
The sun hides afraid Clouds devour my once blue skies Darkness reigns down now
Depictions of a fiction Betrayals of the heart Conniving and convincing In love? you played a part Creating then deflating Built up to be torn down Conceited and depleted No remorse...not one ounce
My grandad did tell me on many occasions Women are not worth your money time or patience I used to just nod and simply agree Because I knew that no woman would ever want me But you came along and made me believe That I could be someone th…
